Amnesty International Nigeria has condemned alleged comments by the Chairman of Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, threatening to expel residents who do not support or vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Amnesty International Nigeria disclosed this in a statement posted on its X platform on Tuesday.

The organisation described the alleged threat as a call to violence and an attack on residents’ freedom of association and liberty.

It said no individual should be forced to join or vote for a political party as a condition for continuing to live in any part of Nigeria.
